County Antrim, Ireland
The sea fills me with an inexpressible feeling.
But whatever that feeling is, it is good, it has hope, it contains a sense of expectation.
Future.
Power.
Peace.
God.
Love, Lisa

Joy in the Midst
This is one of very favorite pictures of my husband and me.
What you see: Laughter, happiness, joy, beauty of the Slieve League cliffs in Donegal.
What you also see: our new acquaintance’s thumb, which showed up in every single photo he took of us, until we were all beside ourselves with laughter.
What you don’t see: a walking cane that took me from point A to point B, the pain of walking that it took to get to that photo taking spot, my husband’s stress from lovingly taking such good care to get me to this spot.
And this is why I love it. In pain, in hard times, in difficulties, there can be great joy. There can be great beauty. Great strength. Great determination. Great hope.
And a Great God over it all.
I am glad to be back, sharing with you all. God is doing a new thing in my heart, and renewing my spirit. Let me hear from you! I have missed you. Love, Lisa

A Rose in Autumn
Standing as tall as she can
She stretches her neck towards the sun
Petals showing their age but still retaining color of blushes
Lightly lined and becoming dry
She is happy to be there, in the garden, in the sun, in the green
Feeling the touch of the wind and the rain on her skin
Still alive and lovely and glad to be

Fresh Wind
Those who know me know that I love the wind. Cleansing, refreshing, roaring, invigorating wind.
New starts and reinvigorated beginnings feel like fresh wind. I am so thankful that God gives us that shot in the arm just when we need it. “The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.” ~Jesus, John 3:8
